This was a quick and enjoyable read - the main characters were likable and I found the military aspect interesting, since I grew up a Navy Brat. The mystery aspect was a little weak, but still worked.
The story in this installment of the Mom Zone mysteries has Ellie and her friend Abby following their husbands to Washington DC for a vacation. The guys are in for some special training and the wives are setup with days of sightseeing.
Ellie also agrees to help her sister-in-law get in good with a prospective boss. There's where they get into trouble which sends them trapsing all over the Nation's Capitol while "helping" the police try to stop the bad guys on their path of destruction.
The story was very entertaining and the characters are lots of fun.

This book was OK, but it just wasn't my jam at all. Military wives and pregnancy ... I can't relate. At all. Really far-fetched and quite convoluted at time. And the husband! Seriously, dude, protect your pregnant wife. Next.

Her good friend Abby and her husband was going to the same training. So the airforce wives got together and hired a tour guide to show them what subway stations to get on and off and where to go to see what museums and tourist spots to see.
Ellie and Abby where both pregant and visited all the bathrooms and tourist spots. Ellie cousing was going to DC at same time to meet with someone who was in Korea with her dad. she show more did not know how her dad died or what her family would not talk about it and where ashamed. but her child had come down with chicken pox, so Ellie was going to take her place and find out what she could.
